I can only comment on Eliyahu Shahar's message of yesterday on behalf
of the Musical Box Society G.B. of which I am the Membership secretary.

He says we would get more members if we accepted PayPal.  We already
accept cheques in USA dollars and in euros, also cash sent inside a
greetings card!  So you simply write a cheque/check and post it to us.

The subscription fee is £24 and it gives you four professionally
printed glossy magazines/journals.  It also allows you to attend two
regional meetings, in spring and autumn, several one-day Christmas
meetings and many more local group meetings.

The annual members-only auction takes place on the same day and at the
same place as the A.G.M. and, at only 7.5% commission for both buyer
and seller, is one of the best-value auctions around.  Our auctioneer
is our current President, Christopher Proudfoot, who worked for
Christie's, London, for many years.  Why not join us; you would learn
a lot and make new friends.

We also have society publications for sale: "The Tune Sheet Book" and
"The Organette Book".  There will be a third book published next year.
